KINDERGARTEN AND COMMUNITY KINDERGARTEN – pre-compulsory schooling If the number of children applying to enrol at a Kindergarten or Community Kindergarten with a local-intake area exceeds the number of available places, enrolments are prioritised in this order:

1. A child who lives in the local-intake area of the school, who has a sibling enrolled at the school for that year and who lives closest to the Kindergarten.

2. A child who lives in the local-intake area of the school, who does not have a sibling enrolled at the school for that year and who lives closest to the Kindergarten.

3. A child who does not live in the local-intake area of the school, who has a sibling enrolled at the school for that year and who lives closest to the Kindergarten.

If the number of applications exceeds the number of available places at a Kindergarten or the Kindergarten’s local school is not a local-intake school, priority for enrolment is given to children who live closest to the Kindergarten.

All students are placed into their age appropriate year and class. A decision to place a child in a class that is not age approproiate is at the discretion of the principal and is undertaken in consultation with parents. The principal has the responsibility to implement the Enrolment Procedures policy of the Department of Education of Western Australia. Age appropriate enrolments are noted in section 3.1.1 of the policy.
